Reading Comprehension is the ability to read text, process it and understand the meaning. It relies on two, interconnected abilities: Word reading be able to decode the symbols on the page and language comprehension being able to understand the meaning of words and sentences . In fact, students generally feel bored and unmotivated in learning English especially in reading skill because English is different from Indonesian so that the students have difficulty in understanding reading English text. They do not know the meaning of some words in the text. Therefore, the teacher’s role becomes important in the teaching and learning process especially in teaching reading. Therefore, appropriate media should be chosen to motivate their students not only to read the text but also comprehend what they read. One of the media that can be used and applied by the teacher is Composite Pictures. A Composite Picture is a large single picture which shows a scene in which a number of people can be seen doing several things. Thus, to know whether or not there was a significant effect of using Composite Pictures on reading comprehension achievement; Composite Pictures was used as media in teaching reading in this research.

Working with English learners for many years, gives you the opportunity to encounter linguistic obstacles that they face while learning English language as a foreign language. Additionally, teaching for 13 years and observing the learning process, it enables you to recognize the students’ needs and at the same time, detect linguistic mistakes that they make, while practicing the target language. During my experience as a teacher, in terms of teaching and learning verbs in general and its grammatical categories in specific, it is noticed that Albanian learners find it relatively difficult the correct use of verbs in context and even more confusing the equivalent use of verbs in Albanian. Since verbs present an important part of speech, this study aims to investigate several differences and similarities between grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian. As a result, the Albanian learners of English language will be able to identify some of the major differences and similarities between the grammatical categories of verbs in English and Albanian; overcome the usual mistakes; gain the necessary knowledge regarding verbs and use them properly in English and Albanian.

This paper is devoted to the study of the impact of class size on teaching and learning English as a foreign language. The investigation was conducted at the department of English at Abdelhamid Ibn Badis University. The department has witnessed a huge increase in the enrolment figure in the past decade which resulted into an increase in class sizes. This has created problems for staff and students alike. Despite the steps taken by the administrators to reduce the number of students, the problem of class crowding still persists. The department of English, alone, has an enrolment of almost 3000 students, it is a huge number indeed if we take into consideration the availability of facilities and resources. The aim of this study is to explore the organizational and pedagogical difficulties that are frequently encountered by the teachers dealing with large classes and the effects on student learning. Additionally, this paper proposes some suggestions on how to deal with class overcrowding. As part of our research, we have given questionnaires to 200 students and 40 teachers. The findings of the survey clearly demonstrate that large class sizes have an adverse impact on the quality of teaching and learning.

The teaching and learning of a specific language whether it's considered foreign or second, has changed throughoutthe years. It began to transfer from a setting where the teacher was the basic and the role model into a setting wherethe learner would become the center or the focus. If we take in consideration all of these findings, methods, andapproaches, in addition to the experiences which were created and further emphasized in an environment wherelearning will take place. Then this language would be used anywhere to create a sense of engagement. Particularly, incertain tasks which are of communicative nature while focusing on the interactive aspect. There had been a change inthe way foreign languages came to be taught. That is, from the way the foreign language would be specified to acertain approach where we would calculate the competence and the performance of a learner. This has led to a shiftfrom the tutor being the figure of authority, the specialized person, and the role model into the facilitator where hewould guide students in the learning process to bring about change. The enhancements of today's time tend to focuson social media in addition to the current research being carried out. Moreover, public pedagogy is also veryimportant and always creates a path towards constructing, bettering and increasing the level of competence of thelearner when acquiring a specific language.

This study aims to identify students’ teamwork models that the students prefer in the teaching and learning process in the classroom For this study, a 10-item possitive–negative statements questionnaire was constructed and gave to the students. The questionnaire was completed by 60 students. From the data analyzing using a Likert scale, the result of the questionnaire calculation showed that the students’ average is about 27, 6. This result is in undecided categories as stated on the Likert scale. It means that the students cannot decide their teamwork model preferences from teamwork models that lecturers applied in teaching and learning English in the classroom. Thus, it can be assumed that whatever the teamwork model implemented by lecturers in the teaching and learning process in the classroom, the students can receive it. In other words, students still have a positive attitude toward whatever the teamwork model implemented by the lecturers in the teaching and learning process in the classroom.
